Just out of curiousity.

[Ms.M]

I have been haunted by a photograph lately. I tried to write about it, but that proved impossible since i know what happens to her in 12 hours after the photo is taken.

So i went back and read a little exercise by WSO, about imagining sitting in a open cafe. Its Thursday lunchtime, your sitting back,relaxing and become of aware of a women walking along the sidewalk. you notice her because she is carrying nothing, she is actually smiling as she walks. she went on to ask, what can she see, what can she smell? where is she going?

I have tried to come up with something, but the beggining has proved to personal for me.

Anyhoo, where am i going with this right? I was wondering if i posted the picture, someone might get me going, perhaps a few ideas about what they think is going on in her mind.

If not that is fine to and we will let this drop to oblivion.

edited to assure you this is not a porn picture..there is no nudity at all.

Smiling?

I get the impression that she's hurried. Like she's missing a bus, or, not really being chased, but walking very fast. Or she's been startled a bit by a noise. Like someone unexpectedly shouting her name or a name familiar to her. Or screeching tires or a car wreck.

Maybe not what you were looking for, but I thought I'd add my thoughts of what I see in the picture. (Which coincidentally, are completely different from the thoughts in my head before I looked at the picture.)

Looks like Natalie Imbruglia

She looks as though she's just been shocked by something. Maybe a car crash off to her left, except no-one else is looking.

It also looks like the Polo ad effect (anyone who's not English may not understand, I don't know how universal this car ad is), continuing walking while your head moves round to keep staring at whatever's just caught your attention. It most commonly finishes with you walking into a lamppost.

Her right hand is plucking at her sleeve. She looks nervous and her bag is being pinned tightly to her side by her elbow. She's also keeping very tight to the buildings. Maybe she's just been released from being kidnapped and she's paranoid; nervous about being in a crowd, nervous about being alone, constantly scared of someone abducting her again.

Just a few thoughts. I like the last one the best. Where'd you find the picture?

[dr_mabeuse]

She was shopping and saw her husband come out of a hotel holding a woman's arm, but she couldn't see who the woman was. Her husband left in a cab, and the woman just came out in the street and she now recognizes her as her own best friend, the one she's been talking about her marital problems with.

Or: she's just left her own lover after an afternoon assignation, and she recognizes a friend of hers across the street and wonders if she's been seen.

 

[wildsweetone]

instant thoughts without looking through other postings...

she's worried. she's not late getting somewhere, but she's worried because she's being followed. she's just finished work for the morning and had hoped for some chill out time BUT she's being followed. she can feel the eyes watching her, can feel it like she's being physically touched.

perhaps it's the tormentor she received suggestive mail from...?

perhaps she's accidentally read documents of national importance and they know she has information...?

perhaps she's worried that the guy behind her is going to race her to the dairy and he'll buy the last of her most favourite ice creams...?
(oops Earl made me think along those lines )

what's she carrying in that bag? documents? a bomb? is she a suicide terrorist? is she a private investigator? maybe she's just exited from a jewellery store with a bag laden with diamonds and that oh so cold steel gun...?

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Yes, Natalie Imbrulia.
I think she is late for something, perhaps late enough that she knows she won't ever be able to make it on time. A child custody hearing? No, nothing that serious, but something she cares about.
Maybe she's meeting an old friend, and she lost track of time. SHe's looking at the time and temp. monitor on the clock at the bank I would guess.
Just my thoughts.

She seems lost, stunned to find herself in an unfamilar area . . . . . although she has been there many times

 

[Ms.M]

Thanks everyone

Its not Natalie Imbrulia.

Where did i get the picture..Its a secret

Thanks I will take everyone's thoughts into account, and see what i can come up with.

And one more picture..because of one of the idea's that popped up and adding this might make someone chuckle.

The sexual inuendo aside..... she still seems to be staring off into no where.... re-establishing her senses

 

[wildsweetone]

love it!

i'm so glad she got there first

 

[TheEarl]

My that's a big tongue...

Interesting picture. It looks a very artificial pose. Does she know she's being photographed htere?

The Earl

Artificial, in what way? Does she look like she is posing?

She is aware that she is being photographed. I suppose anytime someone knows there picture is being taken, the temptation to pose is hard to resist.

The second pic would be the earlier pic...she's having a relaxing day after closing a major case (maybe a rape case or a murder case). She stroll salong a boardwalk and enjoys her ice cream. Later in the day, as she exits a cafe she is shocked to see the man she had worked so hard to convict standing across the street leering at her. She freezes and tries to figure out what her next move is.

Now that my dear is a story, The first part would write itself.

I can off the top of my head see maybe 3 ways in which one could go from there.

thank you dn...

[wildsweetone]

ice cream with a twist?

the man she worked so hard to convict got off scott free. she killed him anyway (the weapon is in her bag still covered in blood if you'd care to look). now she is eating the ice cream to celebrate.

 

[TheEarl]

It looks a very unnatural position. It looks as though she's a model and she's trying to show off something, although I can't work out what. Pretend to eat an ice-cream, I'll bet you your hand won't end up on your hip and def. not at that strange angle. Plus the fact that she's sticking her tongue out so far.

Just seen it. She looks as though she'd out with a boy/f and is pulling a pose of a pose, just deliberately strinking a silly pose for the photograph. Unfortunately for this to work the photograph would need to be taken from in front of her.

The Earl

PS I have got into the habit of popping up unexpectedly with a camera and takign a photo. You tend to get more interesting photos.

 

[wildsweetone]

oh, is it an advert for the ring?

if the photo has been reversed it could be an engagement ring...

 

[cherrylips_au]

The first pic I was giving the impression she is in her lunchtime limit time to get everything done, pay bills etc.

But she hears someone call out a name, a name she hasn't used since she was younger. She changed her idenity to escape something from her past.

It makes her nervous, then she realises that they weren't refering to her at all.

Or for a different scenario to connect the two pics.
She is walking along the street, her mind playing over what she has to do that day.
Suddenly she hears someone call to her, she turns to look and flash the camera goes off.

Turns out a big model agency is in town recuiting new models so the take her off for some test shots hence the posed ice cream shot.

Quasi's Crystal Story Generator

The mysterious woman is stepping out of an abusive relationship.

She carries what money and jewellery she has been able to hoard for the last few months. She has a false social insurance number, and several credit cards under the new identity, but so far, she has not been able to obtain a false passport.

One last check over her shoulder, and the woman is about to disappear.

In the second photo, she has already dropped her true identification, in a weighted metal box, into the bay. She tries to blend into the dockside activities, while waiting to board a small yacht, upon which she has signed on as a cook. In a matter of hours - as far as anyone searching for her is concerned - she will disappear. She will immerge as a completely different individual, working on a small craft, cruising through the Caribbean.

Somewhere ahead of her, is her second chance at a life without fear.

Those are the bones. All it needs now is fleshing out.

Actually, you're all wrong

It is early afternoon, and she is returning to work, after eating lunch at a local Mexican restaurant. She is looking the way she is because she just farted. She is concerned who may have been behind her and who is now prone on the sidewalk, gasping for air.

Quickly she looks around as she hurries on down the street, hoping not to be seen on her way back to work.

The second pic is the next day. Because she wasn't found out as the fart killer the day before, she relaxes with her ice cream cone on a calm and sunny afternoon. She seems to be having thoughts of erotic sex on a sailboat involving lots of icecream.

These are just my initial ideas. I could come up with more, with a little thought.

 

[wildsweetone]

she had so better have some strawberries in there with her...

*LOL*

Hopefully not when someone is eating ice cream, now that would make an interesting photo.

And probably very messy to

I am tempted to post another photo.

But none of them seemed quite appropiate for your idea's.

So, why do your photo's HAVE to be appropriate?

We CERTAINLY have many inappropriate ideas!

What! No pics with dark looming clouds in them? I'll take care of that!
